If I were a dog,
No doubt I would eat a door.
Sorry, door. Sorry.

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2020 2:36 am**

Indeed, I get it.
Sir Harold must've been frightened
With his people gone.

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2020 2:38 am**

I can't answer @Dimcairien Luiniel or @Tarawen with a proper haiku, but after two days of good behaviour from Harold, we figured he'd be okay in the house for a few hours when we were at church yesterday. *facepalm* He chewed off a good heckin chunk of the door frame, and ate some window blinds too. The shelter did warn us he was an escape artist.

Bless the name Harold
No doubt he is living it
It means commander.

(But you maybe probably knew that if you picked out the name)

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2020 7:28 am**

Harold Houdini
You should rename him, mayhap.
Or Grond would be good.

Harold Door-eater
An excellent aptronym
Let’s hope no repeats

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2020 11:39 am**

"Aptronym" is cool--
but what distinguishes it
from an epithet?

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2020 12:22 pm**

Because epithets
Are not necessarily
"Apt" for the person

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2020 2:03 pm**

Epithetical,
Aptronymical - fine words,
Quite fantastical.

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2020 2:41 pm**

All hail Sir Harold!
Mightiest of door eaters.
(A one-time honor.)

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2020 2:45 pm**

He was called Harry
Which we felt fitting, so we
Shall call him Harold. :smiley8:

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2020 3:01 pm**

Epithetical, Aptronymical -
Quite fine words, and right fantastical.
Palindromical, Topotropical -
Yes, good spiel; etymological.
Portmanteaulical, Dockelfhandrigal -
Wordsmiths can be plumb elastical.

Is this an haiku
I see above me? 'cos not,
It's long and clever

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2020 4:37 pm**

Per Sil's past haiku -
She posted it the sixteenth -
Other forms? Fair game!

For which I am grateful, 'cause whole truth be told,
I cannot that metrical device grab hold.
It's slipp'ry and slimy and wriggles around,
And my brain or hands cannot ride it to ground.
I hold the deficiency's in me alone,
And do not disparage those who like its tone,
But billferny to haikus - that's right, with an "s" -
And huzzah! for other poeticalness.

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2020 7:46 pm**

A wild mix of forms
In the humble haiku thread
All of a sudden

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2020 9:06 pm**

As for other forms
I have always been fond of
Silly limericks

---

Because of the limerick's parameters
It's easy to use lots of characters
If your poems are bold
The point-earning threshold
Is as easy to clear as a banister

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2020 9:31 pm**

What, ho! Haiku thread-
Become so much more, since last
I did visit it.

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2020 1:17 am**

Signing up for things
Brings with it a big problem:
Now you have to post.

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2020 2:18 am**

I too have many
Post that need to be posted
What threads am I in?

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2020 4:13 am**

I just ignore all
Responsibility what?
Only nostalgia!

(also I would love to do limericks, maybe there should be a separate thread [that someone else should open because I'm lazy]?)

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2020 1:22 pm**

Ducky joined the dwarves
for the shiny axe icon.
Fangorn at rank 10?

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2020 1:48 pm**

Tara joined the Wights.
Was it for companionship
Or the shiny ring?

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2020 4:45 pm**

Dwim joined the Hobbits
Was it for the food? Or pipes?
Not judgy; good choice!

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2020 9:58 pm**

For the nostalgia,
For food, good friends, the pipeweed,
And the Green Dragon.

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2020 10:09 pm**

Nostalgia: the drug
Of older people. I can't
Seem to get enough.

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2020 10:26 pm**

Nostalgia abounds
Here on the Plaza where we
Enjoy times together

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2020 10:37 pm**

So many reasons
to join each of the Kingdoms
or remain candle

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2020 11:03 pm**

Way back when dial-up
was a thing, the Plaza was
born. Look at us now!

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 12:56 am**

Many were children
When we first joined the plaza
Now we all can drink

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 4:09 am**

Some of us may be
Drinking now. Anyone want
A glass of white wine?

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 4:37 am**

If I were nearby
I would take you up on that
Virtual drink time?

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 4:40 am**

I will have one, thanks.
Why shouldn't I drink at work?
Just don't tell the boss.

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 5:42 am**

Passing a drink through
The internet now. Want a
Paper umbrella?

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 5:46 am**

If only one could
Pass things through the computer
Life would be simple

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 9:21 am**

Sound w'ld that be
Screen that was a portal
Beer swapped for tea

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 11:21 am**

One Ring to rule All,
One to bring and find them, and
in darkness bind them.

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 11:52 am**

The world sure is changed.
I feel it in the water,
Feel it in the earth.

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 1:42 pm**

Haiku thread became
a virtual pub over-
night! Plus Tolkien refs.

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 1:52 pm**

When did this occur?
How come Ducky is a dwarf?
So many questions

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 2:37 pm**

*Sips something nut-brown*
Boring - notes of "good dark beer"
Keep your fruit flavors

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 5:49 pm**

Fruit and nutbrown, both
are good. A sour, dark brew,
Or something else new!

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 6:19 pm**

There's a place in town
That sells your drinks by the ounce:
Great for trying sours!

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 6:23 pm**

Sours are delightful -
Like boozier kombucha!
I sip them slowly.

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 6:27 pm**

Quickly, slowly, pffft
Either way I drink it in
Leaves a webby head

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 6:55 pm**

I have to nurse mine -
I am a rather cheap date.
Good for my checkbook?

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 10:44 pm**

I love kombucha.
Bubbles, and so many flavours.
It's so refreshing.

Posted: **Fri Jun 26, 2020 3:24 am**

Today I baked a cake
And some sourdough crackers
Which I ate with cheese

Posted: **Fri Jun 26, 2020 3:37 am**

That cake looks SO good;
I will teleport to you
To partake of it!

Posted: **Fri Jun 26, 2020 4:04 am**

Standing by ready
For hungry teleporting
Plazaites. Mmmm, cake!

Posted: **Fri Jun 26, 2020 5:20 am**

Also wants some cake
But I had some wine instead
Now I am sleepy
